What could be better than a short break away from home to rest, relax and celebrate a birthday? The destination was The Stables, a holiday cottage in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is located in a small village called Brandesburton, not far from Beverley or Hornsea. The Stables was one of two properties, both …
Matlock Bath is a very peculiar little town. Situated in Derbyshire, it models itself on a seaside town. It has, in fact, everything you’d expect to find in a seaside town. Except there’s no sea.
